Chapter 703 The Death of Herodotus
History is not fiction, but it is often more dramatic than fiction.

Because history does not need to consider the succession and transition of stories.

There are many big figures who are powerful and powerful, but their exit methods are full of funny and absurd.

For example, a great king who died because he lifted a tripod and broke his tibia, or a philosopher who was crushed to death by a falling turtle while walking on the beach, or a pope who was thrown out of the window by the suffering master because he slept with someone else's wife...

And Herodotus, who is now falling from a high altitude at an extreme speed.

The most famous heretic in the history of the Silver Moon Church, established the Blood Moon Society with his own efforts, and caused countless lords in the western region to sleep and eat. Countless enemies wanted his life, but he was still alive and well until the last moment of.

And not only was he living well, Herodotus had just won an unprecedented miraculous victory, which brought his personal reputation to its peak.

He was no longer willing to hide in the darkness, and this trial was an excellent opportunity for him and Blood Moon to turn from darkness to light, regain the support of the believers, and bathe in the sun.

Herodotus had been planning for this day for a long time.

He calculated all kinds of possibilities. As a master in the field of assassination, he would of course guard against other people's assassination of him, and arranged strict guards in advance.

This time the trial was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. No matter where the assassin dared to take the lead, Herodotus was sure to take down the opponent immediately.

However, he only missed the threat from above.

Although those Yi people have invaded the Bratis continent, they haven't reached the western border yet, and they have nothing to do with Herodotus and his Blood Moon Society.

So Herodotus naturally ignored them.

But in the face of this kind of killer who fell from the sky, even if you are prepared, it is difficult to guard against it.

In particular, Li Yulin gave Zhu Zhigang a gun before setting off. The original plan was to let Zhu Zhigang use his flying ability to avoid the guards in the city, hide in nearby buildings, and shoot Herodotus in the chaos.

Rifling has been added to the new gun Ge Lipeng, and the accuracy has been greatly improved, so that Zhu Zhigang, who is on the mission, can shoot at a farther place.

It is best to choose to do it when the crowd is cheering or shouting. At that time, the sound waves can overwhelm the gunshots, so that Zhu Zhigang can leave calmly after solving the target.

But Zhu Zhigang himself was not very satisfied with this plan. A sneak attack without even saying hello is the most despicable method in Jianghu martial arts.

Coupled with the fact that Li Yu gave him the privilege to play by ear, he decided to wait and see after finding a hiding place.

In the end, it didn't matter what he looked at, as Ge Wen jumped into the crowd and slashed wildly, attracting everyone's attention.

So Zhu Zhigang also made a decisive decision, jumped out of the hiding place, and rushed towards Herodotus, and at the same time, he did not forget to shout, "Demon Dao, take your life!"

This shout is quite elegant, firstly, it is to express the purpose of my trip, and the teacher is famous, and secondly, it can be regarded as a greeting in advance, so it will no longer be considered a sneak attack.

However, since Zhu Zhigang spoke Chinese, and the scene was quite noisy at that time, Herodotus probably didn't hear it very clearly.

Until Zhu Zhigang grabbed his shoulder, he couldn't fully understand what happened, and there was still a smile on his face.

Zhu Zhigang was not polite to him either, he had already greeted him, and if he couldn't hear clearly, it was the opponent's own problem.

It was impossible for Zhu Zhigang to wait until Herodotus fully reacted before making a move. Herodotus still had many minions by his side.

Zhu Zhigang also knew that once those minions found out, his situation would be very dangerous.

So as soon as Herodotus was caught, he flapped his wings and flew towards the sky.

When the archers reacted, the two of them were already 30 to [-] meters above the ground, and those people did not dare to act rashly for a while.

He could only let Zhu Zhigang continue to fly upward until the figures on the ground turned into small black dots. Zhu Zhigang held Herodotus in one hand and took out the Meridian Duck Axe he was carrying with him with the other. into the latter's throat.

"The Evil Eliminator Shuangxiu teaches Bruce, and when you get to the Temple of Yama, remember to report my name."

After speaking, he let go and threw Herodotus' body down.

After successfully completing the task, Zhu Zhigang flapped his wings and left the multi-scale city.

Herodotus' body fell from the sky and hit the ground hard. His head hit the stone steps first, and it shattered, and his cervical spine also broke.

The whole body was thrown so badly that it was impossible to even tell who it was.

All the believers present were shocked, and there was a deathly silence in front of the temple, and no one spoke for a long time.

Quintus was also stunned. He was already planning to be judged or even killed. Unexpectedly, Herodotus, who was the judge, disappeared first, and in such a tragic way, Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, he was executed.

Especially considering that assassination was originally the most commonly used method by Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society, from this point of view, his death seemed to be in response to some kind of trial.

Afterwards, Quintus found that he seemed to be forgotten. It was Gwen's turn to be judged later, but now the priests of the Blood Moon Society were all gathered around Herodotus' body, and no one was there anymore. care about him.

Even the guards guarding him stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks, and looked up the stone steps. Shock and bewilderment were written on everyone's faces.

But Quintus didn't take the opportunity to escape. First, he didn't think he could escape, and second, he didn't know where to escape.

Multiscale City was originally the holy city of the Silvermoon Church, but now it is occupied by the Bloodmoon Society, and the high priest who was elected not long ago is left alone.

Quintus only felt at a loss.

And he is not the only one who is full of confusion about the future. The Blood Moon Society was established by Herodotus, and its operation and maintenance are completely dependent on Herodotus.

Everyone in the church firmly believed that Herodotus was the savior chosen by Picia, and they obeyed and worshiped him unconditionally.

This organizational structure ensures Herodotus' supreme authority and allows his orders to be implemented to the greatest extent.

But the problem is that once the leader Herodotus is lost, the Blood Moon Society will be paralyzed, and there is no second person with enough prestige to convince the crowd.

Moreover, once Herodotus died, his theory of the savior was declared bankrupt, which also made the Blood Moon Society lose its persuasive power to ordinary believers.

After the silence, the crowd soon fell into greater anxiety.
